Twinkle & Shine DancersFor children with additional/special needs

Twinkle & Shine Dancers is a class for children with special needs; to share in the love and joy of dance, ballet & music in a nurturing, supportive & fun environment. These dance classes are for girls and boys 2 and a half up to 5 year olds.

A wonderful program especially for children that require special support (mild to moderate) that involves a lovely introduction to ballet, dance & movement. With a parent/carer actively participating, assisting & guiding their child throughout the class, your little dancer will feel very safe and comfortable and be given the best opportunity for effective learning and development. There will be ample opportunities where your little dancer will shine all by themselves too!

A chance to wiggle, giggle, twirl & jump and an opportunity for the children to express their fine abilities. Through the use of exciting dance props including ribbons, scarves, wands, wings, percussion, instruments and hoops (to name a few !) the students learn to work both individually and in groups.

All children will twinkle & shine in this class!All care and understanding is given to individuals (like in all our classes at Little Ballerinas) and everyone will have a lot of fun. Both child and parent will flourish with this opportunity to dance together and for parents the chance to also be introduced to potential methods & activities to employ and try at home too.

The regular structure of the program and of each class each week, provides a wonderful opportunity for the children to develop both movement and social skills. These classes aim to develop co-ordination, spatial awareness, imagination, musicality, muscle strength and of course also foster self esteem, sharing skills, following instructions and working with others.

Twinkle & Shine Dancers provides an excellent opportunity for your child to be active both physically and mentally, all whilst in a dance class having fun!

Twinkle & Shine Dancers is timetabled at Hurstville on Thursdays and Como on Fridays.
